Law of Succession

The Law of Succession deals with the question as to what happens to the assets, rights and obligations of a deceased person. One ought not to start considering the Law of Succession upon the death of a person but ought to plan succession during a person`s lifetime. By transferring assets during the life of a person and by concluding appropriate contractual agreements, a person`s estate may be controlled. This also ensures optimum results with regard to any inheritance tax.
